Fake Shock Reservoirs for the Traxxas Ultra Shocks

thingiverse

So I designed these fake shock reservoirs for the Traxxas Ultra Shocks to enhance my Traxxas 2WD Slash as a cosmetic upgrade, which can be seen in the photos here. To assemble them, you will need sandpaper and superglue along with a Dremel power tool. Depending on your 3D printer or service used to produce these parts, you'll have to sand out the rough edges to prepare them for assembly. After that, notice in the STL File I created two types of circles - one smaller and the other larger. Next, separate the ones with small circles from those with bigger circles. Once done, start assembling by taking the top parts of the fake shock reservoirs in the bottom ones with smaller circles and assemble them as seen here in the photos. The fake shock reservoirs with smaller circles are for the front shocks. After that, you'll begin to assemble the rear shock reservoirs with bigger circles, following the same process as the front shock reservoirs. The shock reservoirs with larger circles will be a bit longer and designed for the rear shocks. Once assembled, take the mounts/spacer and glue on the front fake shock reservoirs onto the shorter mount/spacer using superglue as seen in the photos to get an idea of how it's done. After that, take the fake shock reservoirs with larger circles and glue them onto the longer mount/spacer. Again, see the photos for a clear idea of how I did this. Once the assembly and sanding are complete, the fake shock reservoirs should look like what you see in the photos. Next, remove the shocks from your RC vehicle, clean them up, and take off the stock spacer currently on both front and rear shocks. The photos will show you exactly how to install the fake Shock Reservoirs onto the shocks themselves. After reassembling the shocks, put them back onto your RC vehicle and you should get the desired result as seen in the photos. I've successfully tested this cosmetic upgrade on my Traxxas 2WD Slash, and it doesn't interfere with the body or performance of the vehicle.
